Sorry, ignore what I said for the aside: you take the average of 10 volumes 
starting at volume 11. Better than taking the first 10. Sorry for my Sunday 
early morning confusion :-)

But the main issue remains, that mc flirt_acc does not correct for motion as 
well as mcflirt. Let me know your thoughts on why this may be.

Thanks,
- Julien
